Tax on the Sun?

[Revoltingest]

Cheek, not cheeks. I have been called half-*** enough times that if finally took.

Only one buttock?
You could play the old woman in Candide!

People don't have meters on their body.

I guess that would be the next step, for everyone to have meters installed on their bodies. It would measure not only how much sunlight you get, but how many times you go to the bathroom, how many squares of toilet paper you use - so that everyone will be taxed accordingly. And it could really be quite a boon for any "sin taxes." It could keep track of how many drinks one has, how many cigarettes, how many times having sex (even masturbation could be tracked) - and duly taxed for each occurrence. Respiration could also be tracked so that everyone could be taxed on each breath they take.

Your smart phone is getting pretty close to it as it is.

i seem to remember a scene from an old Cheech and Chong movie where one of them woke up in their future somewhere and a guy was telling him about a new business he just opened, a tanning salon, and Cheech looked up and said, "yeah but how do you get the sun to only shine on the people that pay". What a line.

And of course that damned lazy slacker socialist moon is going to just keep coasting by and getting shrimp and steak dinners all the the time, ever though that lazy bum never produces its own light because the sun is forced to redistribute its rays.

Here's a song from Candide, "Glitter & Be Gay" (Kristin Chenowith singing).....

She is the one with 2 buttocks though.
